When your body needs something — sleep, food, exercise — at least the path is clear. You know exactly what to do, even if it’s hard.
But what about the things that knot your gut? The conversation you’ve been avoiding. The workout you need to do. The intimidating career move. The relationship in need of repair. The project on the brink of failure.
When your instinct screams “retreat,” it may point exactly where you need to go.
“Control the things you can control, maggot. Let everything else take a flying fuck at you, and if you must go down, go down with your guns blazing.”
~Stephen King, The Dark Tower: The Drawing of Three (Book)
